There’s no point in championing a fighter if the fighter does not share your goals. I’m sure Hillary is good at fighting, but I don’t think she’s going to fight for policies that help the average person at the expense of banks. I don’t think she’s going to fight for single-payer healthcare: she has said as much. She…

The media-wide anti-Bernie attacks are not bound by logic. They’re political hit jobs, many of them, especially the incoherent one quoted in this article.

Obama not= Sanders. Obama was much more centrist than he presented himself as. Obama appointed the most corporate-accommodating DNC possible cabinet before he even entered office (Larry Summers; Rahm Emanuel, etc, etc.). David Sirota wrote a scathing article pointing out that this showed that Obama was going to play…

“Bernie is not the artisanal cheese of the 2016 election.” I love this line. I wish I could use it in every Bernie conversation online. People would rightly wonder why anyone would need to say this. People who haven’t read Alexandra Schwarz.

Interesting, but I am not going to condemn Sanders’s plans over any writer’s analysis. This person doesn’t know what Sanders will end up doing, or have to do. Let’s hear it from Sanders himself. And in addition, the tax increases come with benefits, e.g. healthcare, so it’s hard to say whether it will be a net loss…

My 18 year old daughter said that everyone she knows is in favor of Bernie. And I have read that young women prefer Sanders by a 20 point margin. So the “Berniebro” thing, what is that based on??

Amen, thank you. Economic inequality is so much more important to me than abortion rights, and I am female and a feminist. Sexual politics have hijacked and polarized the political process for too long. We have nearly attained plutocracy status because of all the hay Republicans have made about abortion. If Bernie is…

Oh, and I am not a “bro”. I am female. I find the “berniebro” meme tiring and idiotic. Come with some substantive criticisms, not name calling, please, berniebro-slingers.

My interpretation is that he thinks economic justice is life-threateningly important and that hot-button issues and identity politics has been used as a wedge issue to prevent politicians from actually addressing the colossal economic unfairness that we are facing.

I live in the South and I have never seen this attitude, at least not among the well off. Conservative church-goers, maybe. My kids elementary school was full of junior leaguers. I once complained to one that they are so rigid about their clothes. One year cropped pants with large white and black patterns were in…

It depends on what year it was. I have a PhD in CS from Princeton. The personal computer revolution happened while I was in grad school or maybe it was a few years later when I was home having a baby. We used Linux/Unix in grad school and nothing else. When I went back to work I also knew nothing about Windows. I…

Kim K, Einstein, all just projecting a facade. I hate to take a conservative talking point and agree with it here, but “relativism” is what this is. Academic achievement is not a facade. Looks are.

I trust the EWG more than corporations defending their products. We have seen too many instances (e.g. cigarettes) where a very profitable industry covers up the dangers of its products. Science has been corrupted. Scientific fundamentalism of the “if you question chemicals you are an idiot” type seen here is no more…

I agree it’s pretty much the least one can do. But I think it still matters. If we can’t even do this little bit, then we’re truly screwed and are giving tacit approval to racism. Oh, that’s just their sacred heritage? That’s not a small thing.

From Tennessee and still live here and I have to admit I have a little sentimental attachment to our flag. I grew up with my father telling me about how there used to be signs on the highway saying “Welcome to the 3 Great States of Tennessee: East, Middle, and West”

If only logic mattered....

No, lots of southerners would agree with you. I would be heartbroken if I had to move there. I miss trees and greenness after about 2 days in a big city. No, your one park doesn’t make up for it. It’s not good or bad, it’s what your used to/like.

A court apparently has enough evidence for this to go to trial and yet Gawker’s headline and most commenters are declaring her guilty of having made this up. This is really sad.

I am guessing it is California law, not federal, because Amazon was in trouble for doing this, but I think they have been allowed to continue.

Do you think that J. Crew has better labor practices than Forever 21? I doubt it.
